BUG: When opening the homepage, the address field gets focused...
-
When opening the homepage, the address field gets focused. Please fix.
[bug reported VB-62152]
-
actually, this happens whenever going to yahoo.com.
-
is it caused by my vivaldi search settings?
-
@TsunamiZ What have you activated in
"Tools/Settings/Tabs - Tab Handling - Focus Page Content on New Tab" ? -
-
@TsunamiZ Sorry, I meant to say - try activating that flag.
-
This happens to me all the time but only on the homepage. (The address bar text is highlighted/selected) I thought this was a feature of the browser so you can immediately type an address or search without having to manually focus the address field or select that text.
-
it works fine when i turn on "focus page content on new tab". but i shouldn't have to do that to workaround the bug. the bug only happens for yahoo.com.
-
@TsunamiZ Yes. Checking that option makes it so address bar text is not selected on the homepage. At this point, I'm kind of used to having the text selected so, if need be, I can immediately type where I want to go after I launch the browser. Thanks.
-
i don't like using the "focus page content on new tab" setting, because i do want to have the address field focused for new blank tabs. so i don't want to use it just to workaround the bug for yahoo.com.
-
@TsunamiZ Oh OK.
-
If I open http://yahoo.com/ on a new tab the cursor is focused on the search box at the top of the page, not on the address bar, and I have the setting "focus page content on new tab" unckecked.
I've set Home page as specific page to http://yahoo.com/ and when I press alt-Home, the cursor is still in the search box, not focused on the address bar. -
I use this extension, with my new tab page set to be controlled by extension...
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/carettab-new-tab-clock-an/cojpndognjdcakkimaloeealehpkljna?hl=enDoes that cause this?
-
@TsunamiZ most probably, I don't use any alternative new tab page extension and works for me.
-
actually, that extension shouldn't be causing this bug. because the bug only happens for yahoo.com.
-
@TsunamiZ Disable the addons and try it again. If it will work well without addons then it causes an addon.
-
i tested by turning off the start page's "controlled by extension" setting. the bug still happens. so it is not caused by the extension.
-
@TsunamiZ Do you have other addons? Try to disable all of them.
-
i tested by disabling all extensions. the bug still happens. so it is not caused by extensions.
-
for the hotkey for "focus address field", i have added ALT+D. does that cause this bug whenever going to yahoo.com ?
